While the word patchouli might call to mind images of the hippie generation, this sophisticated fragrance couldn’t be further from that. Designed by Atelier Cologne’s fragrance expert Jérome Epinette, Mistral Patchouli uses grapefruit and black pepper notes to enhance a base of Indonesian patchouli. Equal parts zesty and earthy, the enticing result is more “leading man” than “flower child.”

Mistral Patchouli Cologne..Nope !!

Man,I was really looking forward to getting this product,Then after ordering and recieving it. I was really bummed out about it. It does not even smell like Patchouli,and it is very,very weak, It lasts only a short while and its not a very pleasent aroma at all.NOT what I was expecting at all...Such a shame !!! And also the bottle was very small for the $. And flimsy packaging also !! Too bad,so sad!!!

Unique scent

After receiving the sample size of this fragrance in a monthly Birchbox, I almost immediately purchased the full size. The fragrance is both floral and spicy, blended to perfection. I have received countless compliments from friends, colleagues, and even total strangers.

Pleasant scent but a little strong for my taste.

I'd like to start by saying that I never use cologne. I generally find it to be over-powering no matter how subtle. The same goes for this sample. I did find the scent pleasant however and wouldn't hesitate purchasing it as a gift.

Definitely unisex--will depend on your tastes

With all perfumes, I think it really comes down to scent preferences. This smelled pretty good to me but I'm not a huge patchouli fan. It also seemed to fall a little more on the cologne side than the perfume--almost manly.

However, I'm glad to have the sample vial of this in my purse because its strong scent is great if I, say, spill coffee on me and want to cover the scent.

Beautiful

I purchased Ateliers Mistral Patchouli,although on the high price range, I loved the sample and received more compliments. The French really know their scents, its natural seductive scent stays with you but not in an overly strong way. Glad I bought it. You have to treat yourself once in a while.
